By recycling your oil and filters, you can help save thousands of barrels of oil per day. Recycled oil is re-refined and put back into the market for sale.

Santa Clarita residents are able to conveniently recycle their used motor oil and filters in two ways:

1. There are over twenty used oil collection centers in the City of Santa Clarita. Simply bring your used oil and filters to any of the collection centers for recycling. For a list of the centers, contact the California Environmental Hotline at (800) CLEAN UP or visit www.earth911.com.
2. Santa Clarita residents can also recycle used motor oil and filters through a curbside collection program provided at no charge to residents. To request a curbside collection appointment, contact Curbside, Inc. at (800) HHW PKUP.

How to prepare your motor oil and oil filters:

1. Drain the oil from your oil filters and drain pan. Place all oil into any empty, clean, and reusable plastic container with a tight fitting lid. The size should not exceed five gallons.
2. Do not mix motor oil with any other automotive products such as antifreeze, gasoline, transmission fluid, or other automotive lubricants.
3. Once motor oil containers are drained, they can be recycled at the curb with your regular recyclables, or reused the next time you change your oil. (Motor oil recycling locations and gas stations cannot dispose of your used oil containers.)
